Backyard — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
A sport court in your Norcross backyard changes everything—especially if you've got kids bouncing between school and activities. Whether you're in Historic Norcross near Downtown or closer to the Peachtree Corners area, that Georgia clay soil you're sitting on makes natural grass a constant battle. Rain turns it into mud. Summer heat bakes it hard. Then weeds take over anyway. Artificial turf is different. It's not about replacing some outdoor space—it's about reclaiming your weekends. No more mowing before the neighborhood cookout. No more watching your investment wash away every time we get an afternoon thunderstorm. A properly installed sport court gives you a legit playing surface year-round, whether that's basketball, volleyball, or just a spot where your kids can actually play without destroying their cleats. We've been installing these courts throughout Gwinnett County, and we know what works here. The soil composition, the humidity levels, the way water drains (or doesn't) on residential lots in your area—that's not generic knowledge. It's why a sport court installed without understanding local conditions fails fast. The right base, the right turf blend, proper drainage design—these aren't upsells. They're the difference between a court that lasts 10 years and one that falls apart in three.
Norcross sits on Gwinnett clay, which is both a blessing and a headache. The clay holds moisture in ways that sandy soil doesn't, which sounds fine until you realize standing water is your enemy in a sport court application. During Georgia's wet springs, poor drainage turns a backyard court into a swamp within days. That's why we don't just lay turf over existing ground—we build a base that accounts for how water actually moves through Gwinnett clay. Sun exposure varies significantly depending on your lot. Historic Norcross has more mature tree canopy; newer developments near Peachtree Corners tend to be more open. This matters because UV exposure affects turf longevity, and shade patterns determine which turf blend makes sense for your specific property. A court getting hammered by afternoon sun needs different specs than one partially shaded by oaks. Most residential lots in this area run 50 to 100 feet deep—tight enough that court placement affects everything from water flow to ball safety near fences. We map your yard's natural slope and existing drainage before design. HOA rules in some Norcross neighborhoods also restrict certain installations, so we verify those early. The investment in getting the site preparation right upfront—proper compaction, grading, base materials—that's what separates courts that hold up through five Georgia summer cycles from ones that degrade faster than expected.
Absolutely. Gwinnett clay compacts densely but also retains water longer than ideal. We excavate and regrade to establish proper slope, then install a perforated base layer that handles spring runoff and summer irrigation without pooling. Skipping this step on clay means your court will drain poorly and develop soft spots. It's the most common mistake homeowners see when they hire installers unfamiliar with this soil type.
Depends on your lot size and setback requirements. Many Historic Norcross properties are narrower than newer subdivisions. We design courts to fit your actual space while maintaining proper clearances from property lines and structures. A half court or smaller footprint is often smarter than forcing full-court dimensions into a cramped lot. We'll measure and propose what actually works for your property.
Our humidity accelerates UV degradation if you choose low-grade turf, but quality sport-court materials handle it fine with proper maintenance. The bigger concern is mold and algae growth in poorly drained installations. That's why base drainage design matters more here than in drier climates. A well-built court with good airflow won't have those issues.
Standard residential installation runs 5 to 7 business days once we schedule. Site preparation adds 2 to 3 days depending on existing conditions and whether grading or drainage work is needed. We work around Norcross weather—spring rains can delay starts, and we don't install during heavy downpours. Most projects start to finish in 2 to 3 weeks total.
